GUI for interactive whiteboards

Would anyone be able to point me to any white papers or empirical data on
interactive whiteboard application interfaces? projection based. SMART board,
Pegasus, Mimio Board?

I'm working on Classroom presentation application that ideally can be used on
"various whiteboards" with it's own native tools rather than utilizing each
boards proprietary toolset.

Looking for any literature, information on teacher/board interaction...
toolbar orientation, projection resolution, etc...

Lots to think about and evaluate. I know the UK is ahead of us in the states
with board adoption...

Don't listen to your customers.

I'm in a quandary.

I like Dell Ideastorm [1], I like myStarbucksIdea [2] and I like the
approach listening to customers espouse what they like and don't like about
stuff I, and my clients, do.

But, I keep digging up these quotes with monotonous regularity:

a) "If I had asked my customers what they wanted, they would have
said, 'a faster horse" - Henry Ford

b) "We don't ask consumers what they want. They don't know.
